To add instructions that apply to all tasks assigned to {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} in your repository, create a `.github/copilot-instructions.md` file in the root of your repository. This file should contain information about your project, such as how to build and test it, and any coding standards or conventions you want {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} to follow. Note that the instructions will also apply to {% data variables.copilot.copilot_chat_short %} and {% data variables.copilot.copilot_code-review_short %}.
The first time you ask {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} to create a pull request in a given repository, {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} will leave a comment with a link to automatically generate custom instructions.

See [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/how-tos/configure-custom-instructions/add-repository-instructions?tool=webui#asking-copilot-coding-agent-to-generate-a-githubcopilot-instructionsmd-file).
